    Art is beautiful not because economic value has been captured and skewered into aesthetics. It is a part of being human.

      Yea, I agree. It is like the anti-ai art luddites don’t understand this… The people making the promps are still making art, just by the nature of it being humans making human decisions. Skill isn’t a gate to art in the same way anymore, despite what the gatekeepers want everyone to believe.

        Are you the type of person who pretends you made a cheeseburger when you got it from a drive though window? Because that’s what you sound like.

        Prompters don’t make decisions in the piece, the algorithm generated stuff and if the prompter doesn’t like it, then they prompt again. No choices made.

        It’s like how you all use the same words when someone disagrees with you, “luddite” and “gatekeeping”. You can’t really think for yourself so your regurgitate what someone else wrote.

        People using prompts are not “making” art. They are hallucinating theft from actual artists. There never was any skill or materials gate. Pen or pencil and a scrap of paper., pick it up and start. There is no defense for AI “art” or the shills that push it.

          There is nothing new under the sun, even artists who draw their own stuff learn from other artists and use it in their art. AI training isn’t theft as long as the art is free to look at, that is just sour grapes. Torrenting anything and using it either as inspiration for your own work, or for training AI is theft and shouldn’t be done by anybody, but especially not corporations. Either way, it isn’t the training that is theft.

            Disney has assembled a very good case against one generative AI company, showing that the stuff “learned” from shared art is essentially infringing on copyright and failing to assemble its own ideas. They asked it for “A man in a metal suit” and it would consistently give them Iron Man, down to the fine details.

            We’ve moved away from the simple Copy and Paste tools in image editors, but I would say not nearly far enough for technology to evade the principles of trademark and copyright infringements. The “model” is in many ways just a database of other people’s stolen artwork, ready to be rearranged.
